FC Barcelona members have voted in favor of raising additional funds to revamp its ailing Camp Nou stadium.
The Catalan club asked members to support raising as much as €1.5 billion ($1.74 billion) to renovate and further develop facilities at the iconic Camp Nou — a project known as Espai Barca.
The plan involves renovating the stadium — Europe’s biggest, with a capacity of 105,000 fans — as well as another venue used for other sports like basketball. Both facilities are in a precarious condition, forcing the club to fund regular repairs and pay fines for not meeting European competition requirements.
